One of the best paintings in the world is priceless... Why?!

A painting by the Russian artist Fedor Reshetnikov, which he painted in 1952, entitled “low marks again.”

It is about a boy returning from school who failed the exam, and how the family looks at him with blame, and his brother looks at him with gloating... The artist says to them: “Treat him as a dog treats him, he loves him whether he passes or fails, he loves him for himself.”

She is a model of art that educates people and corrects their behavior

Elizabeth Taylor’s eloquent and powerful speech while accepting the Vanguard Award at the 11th annual GLAAD Media Awards in 2000. After her dear friend and co-star Rock Hudson announced that he had AIDS prior to his passing in 1985 (the first high-profile celebrity to do so), Elizabeth—against great opposition during the fear-based AIDS hysteria and stigmatization prevalent in the 1980s—immediately organized a fundraising benefit to raise money for AIDS research (she later stated that she had the phone hung up on her repeatedly while trying to enlist the help of other celebrities with the benefit, and that some people thought she was “crazy” for getting involved with the cause). After Rock passed away on October 2nd, 1985, she also organized his memorial service and soon after became the co-founder (alongside Dr. Mathilde Krim) of the first AIDS research center amfAR. Her separate Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation was established in 1991 with the specific focus of providing nutritious meals (as well as medical and financial assistance) to people living with HIV and AIDS. She also lobbied the U.S. congress to contribute more money for AIDS research and education, devoting the last twenty-six years of her life to the cause. After Elizabeth passed away in 2011 at the age of 79, a large portion of the $115,932,000 raised at the Christie’s auction of her legendary jewelry collection was bequeathed to her charity in order to continue providing the services and assistance she believed were important in perpetuity.

Chaser the border collie has the largest tested memory of a non-human animal.

She knows 1,022 different toys by name and can retrieve them all by name or category.

She also understands common nouns (like house and tree) and can infer the meaning of new words based on ones she already knows.

Your body is younger than you. 

No matter how old you are, most of your body is less than 10 years old, because your cells are always recycling themselves. 

The epidermis recycles every 2-4 weeks, red blood cells are replaced every 4 months, and your skeleton turns over every 10 years.

No word's Can't Say

18th October 1965 - The Magic Roundabout was first broadcast by the BBC.

It used footage from the French animation show Le Manège enchanté, with an English language voice over by Eric Thompson, who also the wrote the scripts which bore little resemblance to the original French story lines.

The five minute episodes were screened just before the teatime news at 6 o’clock. When the BBC moved The Magic Roundabout to an earlier time slot they were bombarded with complaints… from adults!

Ah yes, my childhood. Wasn't a fan of Brian though.

That’s not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.

After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

Worldwide, hundreds of people – many rich and powerful – were arrested.

Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.

And 82 countries changed their laws to crack down on the wealth hoarding the papers revealed.

To say the Panama Papers accomplished nothing is an insult to Daphne Galizia’s memory. Her work, and the work of the hundreds of other journalists who contributed to the Papers, changed the world.

Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel you’re powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.

Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.
